What is Master Data Management? Let me start by telling you what it is not. MDM is not a pure technological solution, or a quick, pre-developed GUI to maintain data. To ensure sanitized master data, you need to include fundamental changes which are required in business processes.
When you are responsible for databases on a project (as an architect, administrator or developer), you sometimes have to store documents (Files) which are linked to structured data. These data often have to be accessible outside SQL Server (Windows API’s). Storing BLOBs in the database, especially the ones over 1MB, can consume large amounts of file space and expensive server resources. Within SQL Server and Azure, there are different solutions to solve this kind of issues.
Controlling database deployment, managing (measured) deployment to production of database changes and keeping an overview of these changes can be challenging. As an answer to this problem, I’ve been searching for a well-working approach to implement Database Lifecycle Management (DLM), of which the target would be to use this approach on all projects.
